DETAILS 1.

Persons Contacted Licensee Employees M. Manry, Plant Manager

  • T. V. Green, Assistant Plant Manager
  • C. R. Miles, Jr., QA Field Supervisor C. E. Belflower, QA Site Supervisor
  • J. M. Watson, Senior QA Field Representative P. Fornel, Jr., Senior QA Field Representative
  • D. A. McCusker, QC Supervisor D. R. Glueck, Junior Plant-Engineer Other licensee employees contacted included technicians, security force members, and office ;:ersonnel.

Other Organizations Southwest Research Institute (SWRI)

  • J. M. Agold, Project Manager - ISI R. H. Fine, Team Supervisor
  • Attended exit interview 2.

Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were sumarized on December 5,1980 with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 above.

The violation of

'

paragraoh 3 was discussed and the licensee had no dissenting comments.

3.

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Unresolved Item 321/80-40-01, Lack of documented evidence for approval of Unit 1 ISI plan. As noted in IE:RII report 321/80-40, the licensee agreed -to locate documentation approval of the of Unit 1 ISI project plan. Approval of the project plan for ISI during the " Spring 79 Maintenance Outage" could not be. located.

Therefore, this item is in noncompliance with paragraph F of revision 1 to Hatch Plant Procedure HNP-904, which requires review and approval of the project plan, and is upgraded to a violation.

The matter is considered to be in violation of Criterion F of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, as implemented by paragraph

.D.9.5 of the Hatch 1 FSAR and is identified as item number 321/80-46-01, Failure to Approve ISI Plan.

(Closed) Unresolved Item 366/80-13-03, Review of licensee's final dis-position of linear indication.

The indication was inspected during this outage and has not changed from the previous outage.

The weld

.

p

adjacent to the indication is included in the inspection plan for liquid penetrant (PT)

inspection every outage as an augmented inspection.

This will insure inspection of the defect area during future outages. This item is considered resolved.

4.

Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.

5.

Inservice Inspection - Review of Program (Unit 2)

The inspector reviewed the licensee's inservice inspection (ISI)

program in the ar as indicated below.

The program was reviewed only for changes made since the last outage (See IE:RII report 50-366/80-13).

The requirements for ISI are specified in the Hatch 2 FSAR, paragraph 5.2.8.

In accordance with these requirements, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI,1974 Edition and addenda through the sumer of 1975 is being used fer the ISI.

a.

The inspector reviewed the ISI program for the current outage to determine whether the program had been approved by the licensee.

b.

The inspector reviewed changes made since the last outage to the following Georgia Power Company and SWRI documents relative to the ISI. program:
